Champs flex muscles Sabalenka, Sinner advance in rain-hit Cincinnati Open W ORLD NO. 1 Aryna Sabalenka cruised into the Cincinnati Open quarterfinals with a 6-1, to 5-0. Fellow Pole Magda Linette secured her second Top-10 win of the season, upsetting fourth seed Jessica Pegula 7 6(5), 3-6, 6-3 in a third-round match that extended over two days after Tuesday’s suspension due to rain. beating Italy’s Luca Nardi 6-1, 6-4. The Spaniard, into the last eight in Cincinnati for the third time, has now won 36 of his last 38 matches.

Warner jibe all part of Ashes fun, says Root

JOE ROOT (pic) has brushed aside David Warner’s jibe that he will need to “take

series. Doesn’t really change anything. “It’s sort of irrelevant to me. What can I do about it? Just make sure it’s not a talking point in six months or 100 days time,” added Root. “When you get out there you’ve got to try and impact the game and help your team get off to a good start. Business as usual as far as I’m

the surfboard off his front leg” if England are to triumph in Australia in the upcoming Ashes series. Root is Test cricket’s second-highest run scorer of all time and widely considered central to England’s hopes of regaining the Ashes.

“This match was the best so far for me in this tournament,” Alcaraz said. “I’m really happy with the way I felt the ball today and the way that I moved. “I got used to the conditions, the humidity and heat. I’m happy to get through.” Ben Shelton, whose match was also halted after the first set, progressed to the last 16 with a 7-6(3), 6-3 win over Roberto Bautista Agut. The American fifth seed will face Czech Jiri Lehecka. Alexander Zverev completed a 6-4, 6-4 win over Brandon Nakashima after the match was suspended overnight when he was leading 5-4 in the second set. French qualifier Terence Atmane earned the biggest win of his career by stunning fourth seed Taylor Fritz 3-6, 7-5, 6-3, earning his first Masters 1000 quarterfinal berth. – Reuters

7-5 win over Jessica Bouzas Maneiro yesterday while defending champion Jannik Sinner beat Adrian Mannarino following a lengthy rain delay. Fresh off a thrilling third-round battle with Emma Raducanu, reigning champion Sabalenka had an easier ride against the Spaniard, earning her tour-leading 50th win in one hour and 20 minutes. “I was up a break, made a couple of mistakes and she broke me back,” Sabalenka said. “I’m glad to win in straight sets. I didn’t want to stay for three hours.” The Belarusian will next meet Elena Rybakina in a final-worthy showdown, as the ninth-seeded Kazakh rallied to beat Madison Keys 6-7(3), 6-4, 6-2. Earlier, third seed Iga Swiatek reached the quarters with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Sorana Cirstea, with the Wimbledon champion extending her perfect record against the Romanian

In the men’s draw, top seed Sinner kept his title defence on track, beating France’s Mannarino 6-4, 7-6(4) after an almost three-hour rain interruption. The Italian struggled to find his rhythm, failing to serve out at 6-5 but sealing the tiebreak with back-to-back aces for his 24th consecutive hard court victory. “He is a very tough opponent. Very different from other opponents, not only because he is a lefty but how he hits the ball. It’s very low,” Sinner said. “I just tried to serve well and tried to see what I could do in the return games.” Sinner will face 23rd seed Felix Auger-Aliassime in his fifth quarterfinal this year. Second seed Carlos Alcaraz booked his 18th Masters 1000 quarterfinal by

concerned. “I guess it’s all part of the fun. We’ll see what happens out there (with Warner at Lord’s). It’s not really in my nature to get too verbal.” The Ashes starts in November, with Root – for whom it will be a fourth Test series in Australia – determined to improve his record there. “The thing that stands out for me is I wanted it way too much the last couple of times,” said Root. “This time I just want to go and enjoy the tour… It’s a great place to go and play cricket. It’s going to be hostile, everything you’d expect and want from an away Ashes series.” – AFP BRIEFS Owen out after Rabada blow AUSTRALIA all-rounder Mitchell Owen has been ruled out for the remainder of the white-ball series against South Africa due to a concussion after being struck on the helmet by Kagiso Rabada. Cricket Australia (CA) said yesterday the Tasmanian passed a sideline assessment during the 53-run defeat in the second T20I in Darwin on Tuesday but later reported concussion symptoms. His mandatory 12-day stand-down period will see him miss the series decider in Cairns tomorrow and also a potential debut in the following ODI series. Batter Matt Short and fast bowler Lance Morris will also miss the ODI series with side and back injuries respectively. They were replaced in the squad by all-rounder Aaron Hardie and slow bowler Matthew Kuhnemann. Morris reported lower back soreness and has returned to Perth for further assessment, CA said. The T20I series is tied at 1-1, with Australia winning the first match in Darwin by 17 runs. Venus gets US Open wildcard TWO-TIME U.S. Open singles champion Venus Williams has received a wildcard entry into this year’s tournament, organisers said yesterday, as the 45-year old American continues her age-defying return to the court. Williams became the oldest player to win a WTA singles match since 2004 when she beat Peyton Stearns at last month’s Washington Open after a 16-month absence from competitive tennis. She last played in the US Open singles main draw in 2023, losing in the first round to Belgian Greet Minnen. The seven-time Grand Slam winner is also playing in the tournament’s new-look mixed doubles tournament with compatriot Reilly Opelka. There had been speculation that Serena Williams could come out of retirement to play doubles with her sister in New York this month. The 23 time Major winner - who retired at the 2022 US Open - has been sharing snippets of her practice sessions on Instagram .

But the 34-year-old has yet to score a Test century in Australia, with former Australia opener Warner suggesting the ex-England captain is especially vulnerable to being out lbw. “Josh Hazlewood tends to have his number quite a lot. He (Root) will have to take the surfboard off his front leg,” said Warner, who retired from international cricket last year. Root, asked on a media call if he had laughed off the jibe, replied: “Just that. I can’t have any control on how people see the game or talk in interview. “Nothing new, is it? You know there are going to be storylines and people wanting to hype up a big
